Yuchi Jingde was already busy catching pigs.
No, it was catching miners.
But Chai Shao was still having a grand time chopping away.
This was the side effect of having too long a queue.
A queue of over ten thousand people, on a road ten meters wide, had been stretched out to over a kilometer long.
Coupled with being completely routed by the Mie Lu Army, the entire line had been cut into several sections.
Yuchi Jingde, while apprehending people, moved closer to Chai Shao.
Countless captives, with white flags stuck on their heads, with a patch of red blood in the middle of the white flag, were tied together and thrown to the roadside.
Liu Meng and Zhang Tian had no idea how arduous their task would be.
Fang Er didn't even get a chance to fire a shot. Chai Shao, along with the Yan Yun Cavalry and the Mie Lu Army, directly engaged the Japanese soldiers in melee combat.
It was an all-out massacre.
Although it was suspected of wasting miners, Fang Er had no choice at this moment.
Chai Shao had gone mad with bloodlust. Any Japanese soldier who appeared before him couldn't last two rounds.
Behind him, where he charged, there was a scene of carnage!
Hahahahaha! I'm addicted!
Little brats! Come on! Let's have some fun! We have plenty of time!
Guan Chang and the others behind watched in stunned silence. Had this old man taken drugs!
They couldn't understand what was so satisfying about killing these weak Japanese soldiers.
They felt nothing at all!
Looking at the bamboo armor and rattan shields, the Mo Dao cut them with no more effect than paper.
Old Chai Dog! What the hell are you chopping! If you're doing all the chopping, who's going to mine?
Chai Shao, who was enthusiastically wielding his Mo Dao, was interrupted by Yuchi Jingde.
He looked around.
Yuchi Jingde had a ground full of captives tied up behind him, while behind Chai Shao were dismembered limbs, not even a complete corpse.
Uh!
Chai Shao finally realized that he might have gotten carried away.
With an awkward expression, he looked at Fang Er, who was walking over.
Heh heh, kid, I only chopped these, there shouldn't be any problem, right?
Fang Er shrugged helplessly.
You've already chopped them! What's the point of telling me this now!
After the battlefield was finally cleared, nearly half of the ten thousand odd Japanese soldiers were killed.
The final number of captives was over five thousand four hundred.
They were all dumped into the hands of Liu Meng and Zhang Tian.
Those two idiots were dumbfounded.
The few thousand miners they had captured a few days ago had not yet been trained, and now they had a whole lot more.
This was truly a miserable situation!
The Mie Lu Army was clearing the corpses and limbs from the battlefield.
Anyone who was severely injured was given a quick end.
The limited medicine brought on this trip could not be wasted on these people.
Chai Shao, Fang Er, and Yuchi Jingde stood on the beach, watching teams of captives being sent to the foot of the mountain to gather.
Chai Shao scratched his head, "Kid, this is quite boring, can you let me lead the troops on an expedition?"
Yuchi Jingde felt bored; these short little guys were not challenging to fight.
Fang Er thought for a moment and said,
"This village was bought by us, it is already considered Great Tang territory. If they come to invade, and you want to attack them, there's definitely no problem!"
"Kid supports you!"
Chai Shao was overjoyed.
Influenced by Confucian thought, they had always emphasized having a just cause for action.
Now, the reason Fang Er provided was perfect.
"That's right!"
"I spent tens of thousands of copper coins and over ten piculs of grain to buy this silver mountain, and they want to snatch it, how could it be so easy?"
"We must go and talk to that Empress!"
"Alright, it's settled!"
"I don't want much, just three thousand men!"
"By the way, the artillery battalion of the Mie Lu Army was just formed, let Tie Lao Ba lead people with me, and also teach those greenhorns!"
Fang Er nodded.
The next morning, Chai Shao led his men out.
During the farewell, Chai Yue looked at Fang Er with some concern.
"Young master, will father be in any danger?"
Fang Er shook his head.
"Don't worry, with the strength of the Mie Lu Army, there aren't many opponents here who can cause them trouble."
"Besides, didn't you see I let Guan Chang and the others go along, just to protect my father-in-law."
Chai Yue nodded then.
The weather was a bit chilly, and a gust of north wind blew, making Fang Er shiver involuntarily.
He calculated the date, damn it!
He quickly opened the system panel, and sure enough, it had refreshed.
Returning to his residence, he began the exchange operation.
The system automatically refreshed to a clothing city.
Fang Er's eyes lit up as he looked at one of the items.
A green military coat, hehe, this was a classic style!
Looking at it, it would probably snow in about a month, so this item came at a really opportune moment.
He first changed into one for himself, and then swept up all the others.
Refresh.
Fang Er could only exclaim "666".
Another mechanical mall.
Various machine tools, similar to the last time.
But besides machine tools, there were also generator sets and transformers. This was like a pillow for a sleepy head, were they planning to set up a factory in Japan for me too?
After this exchange, the semi-automatic lathe, with one more refresh, could activate the open mall.
Second refresh.
It was a supermarket. Besides cigarettes and alcohol, there were also some small snacks, which were just right for exchanging for Chai Yue and the others to munch on.
The last refresh.
It made Fang Er speechless. It was a milk tea ingredient store.
Milk tea powder of various flavors.
Who knows how many additives were packed into this stuff.
The unit was 25 kilograms per bucket for each product.
After exchanging everything, Fang Er took out a bucket of milk tea powder.
Strawberry flavor, he poured a full cup into his teacup, and then put the large barrel back.
Looking at the powder in the cup, Fang Er asked Xiao Qing to bring a pot of boiling water.
Well, drinking just one cup, it should be fine, right?
System: System products are guaranteed to be high-quality, pure milk source + fruit powder ingredients, green and additive-free, please feel free to drink.
Hey!
You're alive again?
System.......
System: What, do you have too many points and are you getting arrogant?
Fang Er was speechless and suddenly remembered the task, so he asked.
"What about that, the silver mountain has been occupied, why hasn't the task been completed yet?"
System: Go play by yourself! You occupied it just by saying you occupied it? Where's the silver?
Uh!!!
Fang Er quickly shouted outside the room: "Someone!"
A soldier rushed in: "Marquis, what is it?"
Fang Er said: "Go to the mine and bring this Marquis a silver ingot of the newly refined silver."
The soldier ran out and returned shortly with a still-warm silver ingot.
"Marquis."
Fang Er nodded, took the silver, and then sent him away.
Exchange!
Ding, exchange successful, fifty points added.
Ding, detected silver produced by Ishimi Silver Mountain, task completed.
Ding, reward has been issued, please check at your leisure.
